He is flippant. And the more America sees him, the less they like him. He’s 47 and an immature punk. He has no “gravitas”. ;-)

“He says question about when a baby is entitled to human rights is ‘tough’”

Which means, Barry, you’ve got no business and certainly no qualifications that entitle you to be fooling around with that question. And you sure don’t belong in any position to have any sort of influence over how that question is answered.

What’s so tough about deciding when a baby is entitled to human rights? If a baby is a human being, then he/she is entitled to those rights.

Barry, may I suggest you use the same criteria used by the homosexual activists. Those activists are on the verge of forcing homosexual marriage on our culture due to their insistence that they be treated equally, no matter what happens to definitions of marriage and family. And you agree with their point of view. So why not use the same criteria, and say that an unborn baby should be treated equally, no matter what upheavals it causes with the Daily Kos, DU, Huffington Post crowd?????

He will soon add a little ‘flop’ to his ‘flip’.

He's too “flip” or flipped on everything. He doesn't make a lick of sense. He's not connected to any real world that I know or believe about.

He's an leftist, elitist petty snob and treasonous, perfidious poseur and self-righteous nanny fascist.

And another thing,.......

If he wins, we are doomed. Kiss freedom goodbye.

The damage is done.

Can you imagine if Palin had answered that way?

Folks, he’s getting away with a fast one here. The Democrats have for years.

Personhood and conception is NOT a theological issue! It’s not. It’s BIOLOGICAL. It’s SCIENCE. Every embryologist in the world knows when life begins - at fertilization.

0bama’s answer says “probably”, but he never says it was “flip”, that is the interviewers term, once again, 0bama gives a long winded non-answer;
.

Asked on Sunday whether the “above my pay grade” answer was too flip, Obama said: “Probably. ...What I intended to say is that, as a Christian, I have a lot of humility about understanding when does the soul enter into ... It’s a pretty tough question.

“And so, all I meant to communicate was that I don’t presume to be able to answer these kinds of theological questions,” he said in an interview broadcast Sunday on ABC’s “This Week.”

"So why not use the same criteria, and say that an unborn baby should be treated equally, no matter what upheavals it causes with the Daily Kos, DU, Huffington Post crowd?????"

I once asked a Ultra-Feminist, who not only wants Abortions legal but the Government to pay for all costs, if she would be offended if I were to invent a time machine and go back and convince her mother to abort her.

I've never witnessed such a melt down.

My only regret is I wish I would have had the forethought to record her reaction.

Maybe the professor can flip to the part of the Constitution the contains the "penumbra" in which the SCOTUS found the right to kill babies .

Interestingly enough, that "flip remark" was SOOOOOOO completely out of place - in terms of the context in which it occured - that I thought it to be stunningly stupid.

You can't label it flip. It was idiotic.

And it's not that HE said it. I would consider anyone who said that, in the situation in which it was said, totally incompetent to be president.
